For two days Utah State head men’s basketball coach Jerrod Calhoun had warned anyone within ear shot that the Aggies were in for a tough game Tuesday night.

In a two-point game, a lot of areas can be looked at as to what went wrong or right.

There is no doubt the Aggies are facing the toughest stretch to date of the schedule.

Playing in their first true road game of the season, the Aggies came out of it with flying colors.

With the first true road game out of the way, the Aggies will try and keep the momentum going when they dive into Mountain West Conference play on Saturday.

Let’s be honest, who really thought the Aggies would rally from a double-digit halftime deficit and beat No. 20 San Diego State at Viejas Arena Saturday evening?

Beating then No. 20 San Diego State on the road last Saturday on the heels of winning at Saint Mary’s was not enough to push the Aggie men’s basketball team

Having won the first two road games of arguably the toughest three-game stretch of the 2024-25 men’s basketball season, the Aggies are greedy and want to get all three.
